From Our Senior Pastor.

As I write this article, I'm sitting in my mom's hospital room consulting with the doctor regarding her heart attack. Then, after getting her home this afternoon I will head down to Salem and help assist my dad and step-mother, who is living her last days on this side of Heaven, having fought a brave, 11-year battle with cancer. In the midst of all this I am reminded of how life can be so fragile and brief. It also reminds me about the importance of investing our priorities in the things that are everlasting. Of all the teaching I have done and how it affects people's lives, it's interesting to see the choices people make as to what is important in their spiritual lives. I ask you the question, are you investing in God's eternal plan? Have you forgotten that you will take nothing with you, except what you have sent on ahead of you by serving your Lord?
